We thought Walkers Crisps had invented every unlikely flavour of potato chips. Not so! Koh Samui Tesco continues to yield a weird and wonderful bounty.
Normal chips - good
Sushi - good
…Combination of the two? So very, very wrong.

As our villa takes shape, we’re beginning to think it would make a mighty fine wedding venue. Let’s see…
Big winding outdoor staircase, perfect for a dramatic entrance
Massive pool deck with that view, ideal for a ceremony space and dance floor
Long open-air dining hall, exactly right for a big, communal meal
Yes, the wheels are turning! Watch [...]

Imagine going for lunch at a busy restaurant - full of dining businessmen. In the middle of everything a dumpy, middle-aged woman stands up, hikes up her skirt…and takes off her knickers. Her knickers! She’s not deranged, not making a political statement - she’s simply decided that it’s an acceptable time and place to change [...]

Now that the weather is unlikely to fall below 30 degrees for the foreseeable future, we’re drinking a lot of Gatorade (that’s Lucozade to you Brits). It does the trick and keeps us nicely hydrated but the colour’s a bit…garish. We’d far prefer something natural (dare we say organic!).
A friend recommended a healthier alternative and [...]

Play with fire? No thanks. Wherever we’re travelling, we always make sure we’ve got current travel insurance. Why take the risk?
If it’s yet another item waiting on your pre-depature ‘to do’ list, perhaps we can make a recommendation: World Nomads.
We’ve stopped looking at other travel insurance providers: Their website is just too clean and squeaky [...]

If you’re not in Thailand today, you’ll see news reports of Thais having much more fun than you. Be jealous - this is a country that excels in sanuk (having fun). Today marks the much anticipated Thai New Year, rightly celebrated in the hottest part of the year with lots and lots and lots of [...]

We snapped this shot from our poolside sala during an afternoon rain shower. The light here changes very quickly and we loved the dramatic effect.
Samui rainy season usually hits between November and December but the occasional afternoon rain shower is very dramatic and deliciously cooling.

Here’s a fun fact: mosquitos hate lemongrass.
Lucky for us, we love it. Often seen dessicated and unhappy on the shelves of Western supermarkets, in Thailand it’s a lush green plant full of scent and flavour. We’ll be planting it in our villa’s many gardens not only to keep the mozzies away but to ensure a [...]

Within walking distance from our villa sits Just Jonno’s bar, a self-proclaimed “funky lounge and chill out bar”. Owned and operated by the bar’s namesake, Johnno’s extensive drink menu announces: “if you don’t see your drink, we’ll Google it.”
Colourful décor matches a colourful proprietor who clearly knows his way around the bar. Located just [...]
